The Elder Scrolls VI is now officially in development, and, except for a major surprise, it will be exclusive to Microsoft platforms. But they will analyze this particular case.
Bethesda has just launched Starfield, the titanic space RPG that takes over from Fallout 4 as the company’s new single-player game. We have also had the ZeniMax Online MMOs, such as The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76, yes.
After a long development of 8 years, Starfield has become Bethesda’s biggest release in its entire history. Has already more than 6 million players.
What’s next for Bethesda? Neither more nor less than The Elder Scrolls VIthe next installment of the role-playing franchise born in 1994, which continues the events of Skyrim.
The sixth installment of the RPG franchise has already entered production (it’s officially in development), but don’t expect it to hit stores (and Xbox Game Pass) before 2025… at the earliest.
Many wonder if The Elder Scrolls 6 will be exclusive to Microsoft platformslike Starfield, despite the fact that previous games did reach PlayStation or Nintendo Switch.
TES VI exclusive to Xbox and PC?
We have already talked regarding this topic on numerous occasions. Yes, it is true that Phil Spencer dropped (without saying it literally) that The Elder Scrolls VI will be an exclusive title in the Microsoft ecosystem.
This means that it will reach Xbox Series X|S, Windows, Steam y Xbox Game Pass. We imagine that it can also be played through the cloud on mobile devices, and on systems like Steam Deck or ROG Ally.
The release of The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off. Recently, Todd Howard said that It would probably be his last game.and we bet that it will arrive at the end of this generation.
However, Is there any chance that TES VI will come to PS5 or the successor to Nintendo Switch? Phil Spencer talks regarding this, in a talk with Bloomberg:
”We look at it on a case-by-case basis with the games we create. We want to make sure our games are available in as many different places. On our Xbox consoles. On PC. Also through the cloud. These games can reach almost any device with Internet access”.
Phil doesn’t mention platforms other than Microsoft, so we can’t take anything for granted. However, It does specify the fact that the game comes out on Xbox, PC and cloud services.
It might be quite a declaration of intent. It is rumored that Phil Spencer decided to make all ZeniMax (Bethesda and its studios) games exclusive in 2021, except for ”legacy games” (remasters or new editions) and MMO games like TESO or Fallout 76.
The Elder Scrolls VI is in development by Bethesda Game Studios, and will initially be available for Xbox Series X|S, Windows, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass in the coming years. Let us remember that Starfield It will receive tons of updates and expansions, so it’s going to be long.
